Another WaPo comment
(In response to a columnist who wrote a good article, but suggested that a bipartisan committee of Senators offer a list of prospective Attorney General candidates that they would promise would be easily approved by the Senate, agreeing to "wind down" the current USA/DOJ/AG investigation in exchange.)
Wind down the investigation? I can't agree with that. This investigation has continued to turn up evidence of shocking attempts to politicize the DOJ in order to foist one-party rule on the people of the United States - which was a deliberate and direct attack on the foundations of our democracy.
And we still don't know the entire picture. Winding down the investigation would cut off the flow of information, and leave the people ultimately responsible for this subversion of our democratic ideals untouched. Does anyone really think that they'll suddenly show restraint?
No, if they get away with this, the next thing they do will be WORSE. More blatant, more criminal. They'll just do a better job of covering it up.
A functioning DOJ is NOT worth the price of allowing a rogue administration to cover up its high crimes and misdemeanors.
